Porsche Macan GTS - Improved power and performance

Porsche Macan GTS

Like all Porsche models that bear these three letters, the Macan GTS is inspired by motor racing. A reengineered chassis, 20 hp more power than the Macan S and reinforced brakes supply the wherewithal.

In terms of power and torque, its 360 hp and 500 Nm place the Macan GTS between the Macan S and the Macan Turbo. The technical basis for this comprises the 3.0-liter V6 bi-turbo engine of the Macan S accompanied by the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with flexible power distribution between front and rear axles. Thus, the Macan GTS completes the sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5.2 seconds. Top speed is 256 km/h.

The Macan GTS combines a high level of typical Porsche driving dynamics with outstanding everyday utility. A sportier tuning of the PASM chassis that is lowered by 15 mm, along with 20-inch wheels in RS Spyder design with matt black paint finish and mixed tyres are features of the GTS equipment.

Also in keeping with the style are the standard GTS sport seats with Alcantara centre panels, additional Alcantara trim in the interior as well as a full-sounding sports exhaust system. The new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is celebrating its SUV debut in the Macan GTS. Together with the optional Connect Plus module, the high-quality multi-touch monitor offers online navigation with real-time traffic information and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay.

The Macan GTS can be recognised at first glance by exterior accents in black - in high gloss above the waistline and in a lustrous matt finish in the lower areas of the body - and by a special version of the Sport Design package, also in GTS-specific colouring, that comes as a standard feature. For the first time, the Macan GTS is also available with the option of LED headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus. They guarantee optimum illumination of the road under all conditions.

Thanks to its special qualities, the new Macan GTS offers even more driving fun and even more Porsche feeling. With this model, Porsche is once more underlining its claim that the Macan is the sports car among compact SUVs.

The 2017 Macan GTS goes on sale in March 2016, with a base MSRP of $67,200 excluding a destination change.
